temptage Posted 22 November , 2018 Share Posted 22 November , 2018 Have just been doing some Memorial research and found this fella. There has been some research done on him by someone else on this website, but have noticed that they claim he had only joined up in Feb 1917, 9 months before his death, whereas his medal card gives the dates of signing up on 10/12/1915 and discharge due to sickness on 21/06/1917 with death on 11/11/1917. Im just wondering if the cause of discharge may well have been caused or aggravated by his service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Porter Posted 22 November , 2018 Share Posted 22 November , 2018 His service record (Pension) survives. He was not mobilized until February 27, 1917 and was posted to RGA depot on March 2, 1917. He had Tuberculosis of Lungs which was aggravated by service. A pension was provided for his widow from November 14, 1917. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they the magical words we need? Should this be a case for the IFCP then? He's not on the CWGC database.

Terry Denham Posted 22 November , 2018 Share Posted 22 November , 2018 You will also need his death certificate as, so far, there is no evidence of cause of death. This is only half the story. If it says TB, then there can be a case. If it gives some other cause, then there probably won't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

temptage Posted 22 December , 2018 Author Share Posted 22 December , 2018 (edited) All required records forwarded to IFCP. Death certificate confirms TB. Looks like we have the blighter after all! Just have to sit back and wait for the powers that be to accept him as a casualty so he can be rightfully remembered. Thanks to everyone who provided me with details for submission.
